On Wednesday I woke up in Salmiya, Kuwait. I made myself some toast and decided to walk around my area a little. I left my apartment building and turned right, past a fish place that I made mental note of to use as a landmark. There was no side walk so I had to walk kind of on the side of the road. When I got to the end of the street I found a busier road with a mosque on it.

I turned right again but didn't walk too far down the street for 2 reasons. The first. I didn't want to get lost and the second, it was really hot and I did not bring a water bottle with me. I have found I don't drink anything but water here and I rarely leave my apartment without a bottle of water, especially if it is during the day. It is hot here! I knew that coming in, but that doesn't change how hot it is, day and night. It's so dry too.

I headed back to my apartment for some water and quality time in an air conditioned room. After that I met some of my neighbours--my floor and the floor below me are all occupied by teachers from ACA--a guy from the states and a guy from Canada. I ran an errand with the guy from Canada and ensured I brought a water bottle this time. When we returned we met another American as well as a girl from Canada. They also needed to run a couple errands so I joined them and went to the same area as before.

I made a video of my room but it isn't uploading, so I may just have to add some pictures of it later.

About Me

I went to Trent University in Peterborough Ontario for my under graduate degree, a joint major of history and philosophy.
After my under grad I lived in Daegu, South Korea for one year. That is where I started blogging, to keep friends and family up to date with my life. I enjoyed the blogging experience and have since lived in Australia and traveled a little of Europe. I enjoyed writing the first blog so much that I have started writing about my experiences all over the world.
Currently I am living in the Middle East, in Kuwait. While at this time I haven't been to many places, my hope is to see other places and write about them here along the way.
Comments are always welcome. I like to know what people think as well as to know who is reading.
